Depart after an extended PitStop.

ROUTE INFO: Make your way to {{spec'd}} Ton Pariwat Wildlife Sanctuary. Both teammates ride elephants through the forest.

Speed Bump: Liz and Marie have to clean up some elephants

ROADBLOCK 1: Find a wrapped bundle in a waterfall/pool and do (unknown) what with it... Andy and Marcus

ROADBLOCK 2: Collect all the pieces needed to build a spirit house, and then take them to and assemble them at "Wat in Nop Pring"

(somewhere in all that (?) >>ride a jitney)

ROUTE INFO: Take a bus to Bangkok

"What are we doing right now?"

In Bangkok:

Liz and Marie do not have enough money

Jeremy/ Sandy are lost in Bangkok while Ernie/Cindy are lost in translation, something regarding the taxi driver refusing their US dollars.,. Lost in translation

All teams must feed the fish in the Bangkok Noi canal of "Wat Srisudaram" to receive their next clue...to the PITSTOP

They're standing at the Phuket bus terminal (compare the signs in the background; for some reason Mapjack linking isn't working). The bus goes south to Hatyai; maybe the elephant ride is close/enroute?

Wow good spot on the bus! I believe going through Hat Yai is either the only way or by far the quickest way to get to Bangkok. Hat Yai is southern Thailand's primary transport hub.

Also I'm willing to bet that one of the twins says the title quote in reference to the all the locals that will be staring at them!

Or maybe while riding the elephants

Oh Brian, I can't wait til after dinner. Cos then we'll go home and you can watch me have my period.

You can experiment with different transport options at this site. The last 443 bus of the day is at 21:30 and the fare is about 11 USD. (Btw, "we have to get on that bus" is a VO; it's probably the 443 but they could be talking about the bus to Bangkok)

I dont know if my speculations are accurate... i was wondering based on the map...

1. Traveling from Ko Panyyi ( i don't think that this will be the starting line) ... to a bus station directly to hat yai... i think the nearest and easiest to go is in phangnga or krabi... if they will go to hat yai... cause it follows more directly than Phuket, but i think from phuket to hat yai is good... if you can imagine the map... they will travel by bus from phuket to hat yai in curving direction passing phangnga, near krabi, trang and into the songkhla region...

2. There might be possibilities that the starting line might be not in ko panyyi (either in phangnga or phuket)... or near to it in order to go to hat yai... racing to hat yai is about 150-200 miles either phangnga or phuket... if by bus... in boat... it is less than 180 miles...

3. Hat Yai - bangkok... by bus is about 450-500 miles....

4. And hat yai, songkhla to bangkok.. is way too cool... to travel.. from nearing the southernmost part to the more central part... with more curving direction...

5. The elephant transportation might be somewhere along Songkhla or northern part of krung thep... ( i just miss the Elephants in Chiang Mai... my favorite place)

We do believe teams travel by bus to Bangkok..... and the episode title sure says Bangkok.

But jungle/rain forest elephant riding sure isn't happening there!!

Interesting to see how fast and well production pulled these two legs off, due to the unexpected and last minute route change! A nice long bus ride for teams would buy them some time....

Oh... i think i fouond something in the net... i hope this will help...

Ahmm... i think my speculation might be this.... the Elephant Transportation might be in hat yai... where they will go to either a house or a temple or a group of people... before they will be in bangkok... because the departure might be in the night time... to take a bus from phuket to hat yai...

From the bus station... There is an increase the chances that liz and marie... made a mistake because of the bus they take, getting a ticket in 1st class rather than the 2nd class... The bigger point there is.... How come Liz and Marie had problems in the money?... in my own side of my mind... i think it is in the bus station that they paid 1st class rather than 2nd class... and found out that they need to get a 2nd class bus, which if they will take the risk to get into that 1st class bus, that will a critical mistake... I think that their money for the Bangkok leg might be around $50-70....

Baloney! I beg to differ with that judgment. Just look at a road map of Thailand. Hat Yai is quite east and a little south of Phuket. It takes 6 hours by bus to get from Phuket to Hat Yai and when you arrive you are farther from Bangkok. From Hat Yai to Phuket you take route 4 through Krabi and then continue on route 4 mostly west to Phuket. From Phuket you go north on route 4 and continue in that direction or branch off to other routes going north (such as 44).

So, I do not quarrel with your statement that Hat Yai is southern Thailand's primary transport hub. However, nonstop buses from Phuket will not be routed that way.
